I go online all the time and I sometimes I dont ask. This DVD really taught me that can be dangerous. It was soooooooo funny too. There are creepy parts that make you see what kind of people are really on line. I highly recomend this DVD
A 10 year old girl (I can't post my name that would not be on the Safe Side)

I bought this dvd for my son and daughter, both computer users who are under 12. it's the first time they really seemed to underdstand how dangerous the Internetcan be -- and the video does a great job of showing that the 'kids' they're talking to might really be adults. best part is that my daughter liked it so much, she brought it to school to show to her computer teacher. highly recommended.

This dvd is informative and non-threatening. Our family really liked the other safety dvd better but safe-side super chick is her super self in this internet safety dvd as well. The other dvd is much more genuine and I'd highly recommend it. This one is better for older kids due to the fact that they tried to dub characters such as Napoleon Dynamite and the Crocodile Hunter. This dvd is still "S-W-E-E-T" and gives kids practical ways to stay safe while using the computer such as never give out your personal information such as your name and address, etc. and never agree to meet anyone in person who you have chatted with online because they may not be who they say they are online and really could mean you harm. This dvd is fairly short and allows kids to hear this important stay safe information from someone other than just mom and dad.

"The Safe Side -- Internet Safety" is well done, easy for young children to understand. I watched the video with my 6 and 9 year olds. They don't play on the internet without my close supervision, but I want to be ready. It's difficult to ingrain in them the importance of not sharing too much information. I want them to know that just because someone asks, doesn't mean they have to answer. Just because it's on a form, doesn't mean they have to fill it out. This video explains the dangers without being graphic.

The issues discussed include email, pop-ups, revealing too much personal information, and meeting "friends" from the internet. Of that last point, my children got the message loud and clear. Good thing, it is the most important message of all.

This is a great platform to start talking to your kids about internet safety. The kids enjoyed it and learned alot at the same time.

This DVD is a great companion to the first safe side DVD. It portrays situations in which kids can be exposed to different online situations that are not appropriate, the creepy way those situations can make kids feel and the right thing to do to prevent and handle those situations. My kids love the safe side super chick and all the lessons she teaches, it is serious with enough silliness and gets the point across loud and clear. This DVD series keeps my kids attention because it describes real world situations but keeps a sense of humor going, too. I couldn't be more pleased.

I love these videos, the Safe Side Stranger Safety, and this one Internet Safety. I never wanted to terrify my kids to teach them the dangers of strangers (in person and on-line) - but I want them to be safe. These videos are the best of both worlds! They learn in a non-threatening way with a fun character called the Safeside SuperChick! They love it. And more importantly they are learning!

I encourage families of pre-teens and teens to view this video. It provides excellent tips on how pre-teens and teens can navigate through the internet safely.

I have an eight year old and a five year old. This DVD was appropriate for both - but better for the second grader since they get on the internet at school. It helped her realize that everything on the internet is not always what it seems to be. It was presented in a manner that was informative without going over the top with scare tactics - so both kids watched.

I got this for my 8 yr old son - and he said he thought it was going to be boring. We watched it together and discussed it afterward. He loved it and asked if there were any more like it! He also took it into school and shared it with his class. He said everyone paid attention and thought it was neat. It is entertaining enough to hold childrens' attention so that they understand the very important message that it is sending.
